The CSIC has developed a process to obtain furfuryl alcohol based on the continuous gas-phase hydrogenation of furfural with formic acid as a source of hydrogen. It uses catalysts based on metal nanoparticles that avoid metals harmful to health and the environment. Companies in the chemical or pharmaceutical sector interested in further developing the process are sought.

CSIC scientists have developed and patented an analogous molecule of the PM567 laser colorant. These compounds are stable and can attach to biomolecules by means of ‘click’ chemistry. They can be bond to very diverse molecules and their production process is easily scalable. Main applications are the biomedical ones. Companies of the chemical sector interested in their commercial exploitation are sought.

CSIC scientists have developed and patented a hydrogel formed exclusively by lipids dispersed in a large amount of water, without the need of using surfactants or polymers. This fact avoids risk of irritations or adverse responses in case of medical applications. This material is biocompatible and favors the transport of drugs through topical, ocular or mucous routes.
